La Rosa Especial earlier.

Just fired up an Oliva V maduro torpedo that my son just dropped off.

Tried my 1st EO 601 Black Label Robusto tonight -
Other than wrapper peel issues, it was quite good!
Very similar to the Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic,
but cost me less $.

Just finished La Flor Dominica Double Ligero Chiselito very tasty , RP edge maduro torp early this afternoon

Right now I'm smoking a tasty 07 RASS

I had a couple Party Shorts today.
:-)

This morning I had an H. Upmann Robusto from the 2007 travel humidor. My review is here.

working on an R&J Hanbanos Reserve 1875 Robusto...

2000 Trinidad Fundadores

I had a gifted JR Edicion Limitada maduro.:-)

5 Vegas A Artisan

Taboo Special Forces . Quite a few burn issues :-)

Since I hosted a herf today,we smoked many memorable cigars.
The best and by far and most meaningful was this 1492.
It was sublime but paled in comparison to the joy I had to smoke it with the guy,one of 11 actually the gave it to me :-)

was gifted my first party short this week, I really enjoyed it...placed order for box of super partagas that night. ~gotta start somewhere:-)

I had an 00 HdM dupute. starting to come around, it seemed they arrived a bit dry, maybe they are more susceptible to drying not. Anyone have same experience?

Great picture Dave!!!:-)


Tonight I smoked a AF 858 Maduro and Sancho Panza Double Maduro!!!

The 858 was from my wife!!! Thanks Babe!!!:-)

Working at Ken's (KenS) house with Ken, Hal (HK3-) and Ken's son Jon.

La Gloria Cubana Médaille d'Or No. 2 while Hal repaired some siding. We helped some. IMO this was the best cigar of the day.
Fonseca Cosaco while watching some college football in the garage because it started to rain.
Partagas Serie D No. 4 while moving a sprinkler head.
Cohiba Secretos (road trip to get more Port)
Vegas 5 Shorty while relaxing in the hot tub.

Whew!!

P.S. Sent Hal home with a Montecristo Especial No. 1, which he smoked on the way. The man is a nut. I really think the Asylum is the right place for him.

Had a great 2x cigar day for the first time in a while. Had a Monte #1. My first monte and it was very nice. Had a few problems with this in the humi. Somehow it got decapitated meaning the wrapper cap came off completely. Still a little pectin and a few days rest and it came out ready to fight. Cut it with a v-cutter to avoid a second full decapitation. Smoked beautifully had lovely flavor only thing was that it had minimal "twang". There was a hint there but didn't have that ... I normally associate with cubans. I also had a Litto Gomez. Damn I love these smokes. One of my favorite go to smokes. Usually avoid these later in the evening because the vitamin N can keep me up but I couldn't help myself tonight. Was drinking a local brew called ale asylum hopalicious with the monte and guiness with the litto. Was watching my Golden Gopher Hockey team wreak havok on the local Wi. Badgers while multitasking and watching the OSU v. Penn State game and the world series. All in all a very pleasant evening. Glad I have a place where I can share with people who will appreciate the experience. Cheers and good night.

A mid 90's Siglo V....just wonderful! :-)

This morning started off with a RP Edge Lite.

Currently a Punch Margarita with coffee and my smartphone

Regalo Extra Toro (I believe this is a Leaf and Ale house brand).

Pretty good. :-)
